KUALA LUMPUR, Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM), through its enterprise and public sector solutions arm TM One, has deepened its collaboration with NCT Group of Companies via the latter’s wholly-owned subsidiary, NCT AI Sdn Bhd, to broaden the rollout of smart industrial park solutions across the country.
The two parties formalised the initiative through a memorandum of collaboration, marking an expansion of their 2022 partnership on the NCT Smart Industrial Park (NSIP) in Selangor. Under the renewed collaboration, TM will provide state-of-the-art connectivity, digital solutions, cloud services, and information and communications technology (ICT) support to elevate NCT’s operational efficiency and enhance customer experience.

According to a joint statement, the scope of the collaboration will extend beyond Selangor to include upcoming developments such as NCT Innosphere in the Delapan Special Border Economic Zone, Kedah, as well as NCT’s corporate headquarters.
Both companies also plan to co-develop go-to-market strategies that position NCT’s smart industrial parks as future-ready investment destinations, drawing interest from both local and international businesses. The model is set to be replicated nationwide with the aim of fostering economic growth, sustainability, and digital transformation.
TM group chief executive officer Amar Huzaimi Md Deris highlighted that the initiative reinforces TM’s role not only as a provider of connectivity but also as a key enabler in building integrated smart industrial ecosystems.
“With our Vision AI, intelligent operations centre, and advanced building management systems, we are enabling NCT’s smart industrial parks to evolve into fully integrated, future-proof hubs for businesses and communities. This reflects TM’s ambition to become a digital powerhouse by 2030, driving industrial growth, sustainability, and digitalisation in Malaysia,” he said.
Meanwhile, NCT founder and group managing director Datuk Seri Yap Ngan Choy noted that the extended partnership marks a milestone in reshaping Malaysia’s industrial park landscape.
“Our first collaboration with TM charted a path forward. This next step reaffirms our commitment to creating smart, sustainable, and digitally enabled industrial parks that will redefine the country’s investment appeal,” Yap added.
